THE UNPOPULAR [RP] OPINION MEME

You ever feel like you're the only one? Maybe you're not. You can always commiserate with someone else!

≈ Comment logged in or anon.
≈ Spill your unpopular opinion or confession, as long as it's rp-related. That means stuff about canons, plots, etc.
≈ Rant, vent, and all that good stuff.
≈ Be cool. Being a dick for no good reason is not the point.

I hate MCU. I hate Supernatural. I hate Doctor Who. I hate BBC Sherlock. I hate Nolan's Batman films.

[(Anonymous)]

Also Teen Wolf.

[(Anonymous)]

Then why are you here?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't care about MCU. At all.

[(Anonymous)]

I love MCU.

[(Anonymous)]

I love every canon in this bar!

[(Anonymous)]

Sir, I think you've had too much. I'm cutting you off.

If you give me a shitty tag, don't get buttmad when I tag the people who don't give me crap. Also, if I put a tag on a meme? It's really safe to bet you should roll. If I tag other people, I start the thread.

Also? If you're going to gripe about oh woe is me I tag 90 of the same character and no one tags me back (creepy as fuck), there's this great little feature on dreamwidth called "Private Message" and before you write a tag that's probably shit but you don't think so? Use it to ask. It's really simple.

You're complicating it to suit your asspat-loving needs. Stop. Communicate. This isn't fucking high school.

If I don't like one of the options on a meme, I'll make an ooc note of it in the comment. If there's no note, it means ALL OF THE OPTIONS ARE OKAY. Don't fucking ask me if number 3 is okay. Did I say I didn't want to do it? No? THEN YES IT IS.

[(Anonymous)]

Negative CR doesn't mean I hate you. Don't get buttmad at me because my character doesn't share your opinions.

I don't want Bakerstreet to die, but it seems like memes are getting barely any comments anymore. If it dies, what? Memebells?






sws?

HOLD YOUR TONGUE, FOOL!

[(Anonymous)]

Any other longtime rp-ers here?

I'm so jaded at this point when it comes to drama and butthurt players ~ seriously, rp is supposed to be a fun break from irl, why ruin it?!

[(Anonymous)]

/raises hand

10+ years. I'm here to have fun, not to deal with ridic drama.

[(Anonymous)]

why are people still bitching about teen wolf? season ended, the flood of characters has receded, time to move on

[(Anonymous)]

because it's horrible and should be eradicated from fandom completely. DUH.

[(Anonymous)]

I think people take this shit way too seriously sometimes.

I also think that people who say "I'm not here to make friends." or who apparently have no time for OOC contact are fucking annoying. There's not wanting to get too personal, and then there's being an asshat. I think a lot of RPers confuse confidence in their writing ability with being elitist bitches.

[(Anonymous)]

i love that 'I'm not here to make friends' line lol you have to have some social graces to roleplay. If you don't want to do that then go write fanfiction.

[bodysings]

I think we should stop having anon OOC memes. There really isn't any reason for anon to be enabled in a community like this?

People should have to stand behind the shit they say.

And if no one wants to RP off my characters because of my opinions that's cool. Because I am a nice person and can agree to disagree like an adult.

[herreflection]

I agree completely.

[(Anonymous)]

When did bakerstreet become completely sterile of good and fun ideas? Nowadays it's shipping, porn, porn, shipping, porn, shipping w/ porn, stupid meme, nothing creative!

[bodysings]

I thought the random memes with the different categories were pretty fun? Like Crack, Fluff, Action and the like?

Also I like to try and take memes where the easiest route would be shipping and try to go another way? It's a fun writing challenge.

And not that I have a problem with them, but we sure do get a lot of smut memes. Just sayin'.

[(Anonymous)]

I won't post to a meme if I know that people are dumping their entire museboxes into it, especially when they do it and have 7 different AUs for one character.

[(Anonymous)]

To each their own.

I would love playing with 7 different AUs for one character...

[(Anonymous)]

I just want to RP comment spam. Is that so bad?

[(Anonymous)]

me too, anon. i don't get everyone's obsession with tl;dr and trying to make their tags as long and as full of introspection as possible. that is not how writing works, first of all.

[(Anonymous)]

I respect everyone's opinion, even if I don't agree with it. /nods. even if I do play one of those god awful Teen Wolf characters, or someone from that wretched Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). to each their own right?

I know this has been bitched about a thousand times, but put what you WANT in the subject line instead of what everyone else is. OTA means that. If you really only want castmates or male castmates or talking elephants or a stuffed badger that has a recorder in it that plays 'It's A Small World' on a continuous loop, PUT THAT.

I won't think any less of you. I promise. Most of the adults won't either. I get that it's everyone's prerogative to tag whomever they want and to ignore tags if they want to, but there wouldn't be half so many tags being ignored or people getting buttmad over it if people just expressed what they wanted.

It's really kind of a bummer to scroll through memes, not see anyone you're interested in tagging, then see this shimmer of light as you find a character that's either a character you've never tagged before but have wanted to, or is a character you love and, what's this? OTA? Well, let's go ahead and set up a scenario.

2 weeks later---

Nope. No tags from them. But they've put themselves in other memes and are finding and tagging (preferred character). Huh. Well, thanks for getting my hopes up for nothing.

And THIS is why I don't tag out much. Because OTA is a lie.

[(Anonymous)]

see, I don't put OTA in my tags at all, probably why I don't get as many tags as others, but when someone finally DOES tag me and they're not of my canon I don't ignore them. but I understand where you're coming from. if you're gonna put OTA in your tag, but want only cast mates maybe try something like OTA to cast mates. I've definitely been considering doing this myself.

and if you're all about a specific gender, leave a note in the message box... fe/males prefered. OTA to cast mates?

[(Anonymous)]

More a suggestion than an opinion: it would be cool if people would mark their OCs as OCs somewhere, like on their profile page or journal entries. I always like to know what canon a character's from, and if they've tagged me but I can't find the thread with their info in the title, I go on wild goose chases. "Who is Soandso, Google? Why won't you tell me?!"

[(Anonymous)]

People don't? Christ.

[(Anonymous)]

I get weird irrational jealousy when I see someone's playing the same obscure character I do. What if they're better than me>

[(Anonymous)]

I always get that "but they're MINE" surge of jealousy. Dumb, I know. I should be grateful people even know who they are.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know how Madoka fans manage to so thoroughly avoid ever actually describing what Witches look like, how they behave, or what sort of abilities they have.

[(Anonymous)]

STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT MADOKA

[(Anonymous)]

I hate it when memes which can have plenty of gen possibilites get designated as 'smut' memes. I'd prefer more regular memes that have smut options (domesticity, prison, etc.) and less smut-only memes. Not none, of course. There's few places to go with a hooker meme besides...well, 'up'.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Window dressing does not make your meme distinctive. Mildly Kinky Sex Prompts Meme and Mildly Kinky Sex Prompts With A Different Dessert At The Beginning Of Each One Meme are the same damn meme. So are Random Scenarios Meme and Random Scenarios Listed Under Song Titles Meme.

[(Anonymous)]

Or another example we've had recently, People Turn Partially Into Animals, People Turn Partially Into Animals To Have Sex, and People Turn Completely Into Animals.

[(Anonymous)]

Are big, splashy pictures really necessary for memes? I like reading what a meme is about, I don't really care if there is a huge picture to represent it. I've always felt the same way when seeing a ton of huge pictures in RPG ads, too. It wasn't like this years ago. Oh well, That's just me, I guess. Carry on.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd say you're definitely in the minority here, anon. People like to get attention and look nice, so that's where the pictures come in. And as long as they aren't huge (in layout size and file size) and the meme doesn't look like a jumbled mess (like a couple I can think of) then I really don't even pay much attention to the pictures.
